The reason the game erupted was because Norp became frustrated that the shizen bully boy tactics they had used in the past to beat up on us failed to work this time around. Blokes like Larkey and Horne-Francis really showed themselves to be bottom of the barrel, and I have to applauded our guys for staying focussed and not taking a step back when required.
This is another new feature of our club that Voss should get some credit for!
I hope the club contests the Young MRO penalty, given Stocker is out it's a bit of a waste of time contesting that one but maybe it should do so also as a show of unity! What Young did wasn't much more than brace for impact, while Zurhaar acted like he is free to throw himself through a pack of players and expects the opposition to part like Noah crossing the Red Sea. Interesting all the media describe the Young event as a collision.
Zurhaar's shizen attitude comes from being allowed by the AFL to get away with so much so early in his career, the AFL MRO is mostly to blame in this case.
Given recent MRO outcomes, how can it be the case that Horne-Francis hasn't been done for an on video hit on Silvagni, it's simply bizarre!

Earlier in the season some players got games for much the same act, now it's just a fine, all because SoJ didn't was stoic about being punched in the guts yet again!

Late to the party as usual.
Didn't get to watch the game because of family commitments but watched the highlights....and loved the Young bump on Zurhaar....especially after some of the discussion on here during the week before the game about the likes of him. And was then staggered to see that Young gets a week? Brad Scott needs to come out this week and basically say that the hip and shoulder bump is basically outlawed from here on it even when there's no head high contact....because that's basically what this suspension is saying. If "care for the player" is what it's about then Larkey should get 3-4 weeks because that act (after the whistle too) has the potential to cause serious injury.
On a side not, was so rapt to see Jack Carroll get a debut and play so well....showed lots of compsure. I posted on here a few weeks back that he will surprise a few people this year. He's an automatic upgrade on Setterfield and should hold his spot this week even if Hewett comes back in. I think him and O'Brien could be a handy pair on the wings as they're different sorts of players but can both use the ball really well.

Club is appealing the Young ban. I just watched it again and surely that can't be a week? Got him on the shoulder and winded him....that's all it was.
A few weeks back Mason Cox jumped in the air and kneed a guy fair in the back/kidneys while making no attempt to mark or spoil....and that didn't even warrant a week.

Very glad that the club is contesting the Young suspension. Zurhaar contributed, even caused the contact. I'm not optimistic as the AFL has shown no inclination to acknowledge that recklessness from the victim can contribute to the contact.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

It's amazing how the media flip, yesterday and this morning the Young / Zurhaar collision was reported as it was, ............... a collision.
Moments after Carlton announces the intention to appeal articles began popping up describing it as a fiery clash!

I thought Zurhaar viciously attacked Young's shoulder with his chest. ?
Reality always wins in the end.
